For cardiovascular illness, getting an accurate diagnosis and immediate care can not only save your life, it can help prevent long-term damage to your heart and get you on the right track for many years to come.

Cardiovascular disease is any disease that affects the heart and circulatory system of the body. While some people may be born with a cardiovascular illness, many more develop cardiac disease as they age or their bodies are affected by other conditions.

Cardiovascular illnesses include such conditions as:
